Product Description 

This product provides a complete web conferencing option where you can share presentations and multimedia which can be viewed from any web browser.  One feature is heightened security through a 128 bit SSL which allows you to discuss private company information securely.  The system works on a variety of operating systems including Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Solaris.  Meetings can also be recorded and downloaded which is a nice feature that allows you to view the meetings at any time.  There is also another feature called breakout rooms where you can create independent meetings of the main meeting.  The host of the meeting can actually enter all these breakout rooms if the need arises.  Instant messaging services can be used in conjunction with this service.  This allows the hosts to see the list of invitees and their present status.   

One way Acrobat Connect Pro is used is for Elearning.  This can be helpful for businesses in providing training classes for employees or to give compliance information and presentations to staff. 

Still, another option is to use this software for web seminars.  This software allows your marketing and sales staff to build better relationships with customers that can result in more sales.  This is done through web seminars where your products or services can be discussed.  This can help increase your conversions and click through rates for email marketing campaigns and it can also allow you to deliver high quality presentations to your customers.

Customer Comments 

Here, are some snippets from customer comments who have used this product: 

“Security is one of the foremost things we looked at in terms of a solution.  Connect really addressed those issues for us.”  Eric H., FoodShield 

“Adobe Connect Pro enabled us to take advantage of the real strengths of the school.  Its instructors, its content and its ability to do it anytime, anywhere.”  Jerry I., Graduate School, USDA

“It was Flash-based, simple, and the big advantage that none of the others really excelled at…none of them excelled at that balance between incorporating video, Flash-based video, PowerPoint, animations, to create really dynamic, self-paced pieces.”  Steve B., Toshiba

“We turned to Acrobat Connect…they can virtually get it at their desk when they need it…we can record that information, and someone who couldn't participate can get the identical information…It just makes everything easier.”  Nancy W., DTE Energy 

“We get feedback all the time that we are just so fast… to respond to any issues, and I know that Acrobat Connect has a large role in that.”  Palladium Group

Personal Review 

As someone has used a number of other web meeting platforms, I intimately know the struggles of getting everyone linked up on the same system and how challenging this can be.  Acrobat Connect Pro avoids these issues straight away by keying on software that almost all computers already have loaded.  This alone is a brilliant move that saves so much time and energy.  This is especially a benefit with external customers who are going to have less patience for waiting for putting in add-ons or plug-ins to make some other software work.   

In addition, the software itself allows you to use a number of basic functions like PowerPoint and Instant Messaging with a user-friendly format.  This helps save time for you to teach the system to others and allows many tech savvy people to pick up its functioning straight away.  For companies that are spread out or do a lot of interaction with customers to sell their products, this service is almost a must have item.  As evidenced by the company’s many video success stories, Acrobat Connect Pro is well received.  We fully recommend this program.
